Ending Well: A Good Start Is Half the Work
How we wrap up our endeavors speaks volumes about our commitment, approach, and discipline. It’s something I truly value in those I collaborate with.
As Brian Tracy wisely puts it, “In life, all success comes from completing tasks. It’s not from working at tasks, it’s from completing tasks. It is only when you complete tasks that you become successful.”
So, what does “ending well” look like? Here are seven key elements to consider:
Mindset: Make a conscious decision to finish what you started.
Define: Clearly identify what the “end” looks like for your project.
Scope: Count the cost and gain a thorough understanding of what you’re undertaking.
Create: Cultivate an environment that fosters creativity and facilitates productivity.
Pause: Take the necessary breaks, practice gratitude, and recharge as needed.
Finish: Visualize the finish line and keep it in sight as you approach the end.
Evaluate: Conduct a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to assess your journey and identify areas for improvement.
By embracing these principles, we can master the art of ending well and set ourselves up for lasting success.
